Well, it's natural to succumb to any number of fatal ailments--the world around us is just ITCHING to get under our skins (literally).

But the point is you DO something about it, and decrease the odds tremendously.

NOTHING is easier to guard against than an STD, NOTHING.

You stay chaste until marriage, you have sex only with your spouse, *voila!* No STDs!

UNLESS your spouse has an STD and you didn't find out till a few days after that wonderful honeymoon...

Then what???

[FreedomFriend]

I agree with you on something, Illbay.

No sex until marriage, and with one woman for life. Sounds like an excellent plan.

[Ronin]

Great advise, Illbay. But a little late for most of us.

I mean, I can't take back my misspent youth although I will stay faithful to my one and only true love now.

Does that count?

You stay chaste until marriage, you have sex only with your spouse, *voila!* No STDs!

Works (worked) for me.

If there's no ring, keep it zipped.

I suppose I should say 'wedding ring' before the sickos come out.

Shalom.
